ESTATE PLANNING
FOR SAME-SEX COUPLES
Unless same-sex couples put their wishes in writing, they are legal strangers to each other no matter how long they’ve been in their relationship. In the absence of the right to marry (at the moment), we’ll speak about: 1) insuring how partners can make the right decisions if one is ill or incapacitated; 2) partners attaining hospital visitation rights for each other; 3) a partners inability to make the financial decisions for whatever reasons; 4) what happens when one or both partners become permanently or temporarily disabled; and 5) how to insure your assets go to your surviving partner in the event of death. While this presentation is sponsored Equality Maryland, it speaks in general to those living in other states and the District of Columbia as well.
